The Simple Tie Knot Method
This method is perfect for beginners and results in a classic, clean look.
-
Start with the tie around your neck: Position the tie so that the wider end hangs lower than the narrow end.
-
Create the Loop: Bring the wider end of the tie across the front of the narrow end, forming an "X" just below your chin.
-
Go Behind the Loop: Take the wider end and bring it up and behind the loop, going through the neck loop from the back.
-
Tuck Through the Front Loop: Bring the wider end down and through the loop you created in the front of the tie.
-
Tighten the Knot: While holding the thin end, pull the wide end down to tighten the knot and adjust it to your collar.
